Alex O'Laughlin, William Shatner and Forest Whitaker are coming to CBS

Cancelling “Old Christine,” “Cold Case,” “Ghost Whisperer” and others, CBS today announced its fall slate, one intended to achieve “aggressive stability.”
On first blush, there seems to be more aggressive shuffling and adding and subtracting than status quo.

CBS will launch a comedy block with “Big Bang Theory” on Thursdays, will move veteran procedural “CSI: NY” to Fridays and is shifting “Survivor” to Wednesdays.

The network cut seven series and added an update on “Hawaii Five-O”; a Jim Belushi dramedy called “The Defenders”; a cop family drama with Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg called “Blue Bloods”; a Twitter-inspired comedy, “$#*! My Dad Says,” starring William Shatner, and the romantic comedy “Mike & Molly” about a couple who find love at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting.
